'I know how you feel:' Stroke survivors speak out about scrutiny of Fetterman debate
@TheNewsOwl My friend, Brianne, gave an interview for this piece ☺️
@TheNewsOwl I'm a stroke survivor & I'm really pissed off about how he's being treated!
In the beginning of my recovery I was 100% there but didn't have all the words I needed to express myself. It was frustrating but not as frustrating as being treated like a child!
@TheNewsOwl I got wet brain over 6 years ago, and I still have aphasia. It irks me that people are using Fetterman's speech impediment against him. He's a Harvard grad and this is just a small set back.
@TheNewsOwl it’s hard …people still give Biden shit and he had an aneurysm and a stutter beforehand.
The people bitching likely don’t know the difference between there, their, and they’re…or it’s and its….can’t spell worth a shit and are making fun of him.
We can tell when someone’s cognition is impaired versus a motor planning vs simple naming. It makes me angry he is being treated poorly. I haven’t seen anything showing his actual cognitive function is impaired.
